Getting Image Capture Error 9956 trying to backup iPhone 8 camera pictures to iMac

Hi,

Not that I’m aware as not a great user of iCloud for storage on anything. Where would I find that setting to check and if it’s a potential fix for 9956 what does it need to be?

Thanks for your help in advance

Thanks, had some 80Mb photos in iCloud, have downloaded and am not syncing so is turned off.

Hasn't fixed my 9956 problem though.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated but I'm still seeking a solution

Thanks for the link simi. The Airdrop work around works so just proves this is a very annoying Apple Bug. I am able to airdrop a rejected photo with 9956 error and drag to my created folder in iMac Photos, it even flashes up a message that the pic has been successfully imported to Photos.

Will try a different cable as per Si-Apfelot and look at Airdrop on mass.... but this is just rubbish, absolute basics on connectivity between common brand devices.

Feel confident everything would work fine if I was paying for huge iCloud storage and uploaded there.

Really dissapointing this seems a genuine problem for multiple users and Apple aren't answering...just adds to my current disillusionment of all things Apple and I'm a very good customer owning all products from iMac to watches and everything in between. RIP Steve J but your fumes of leadership are waning

Update: Have tried new cable, hasn't solved.
